How Old Are You?--8...nope, just 3!

Can you believe my little girl turned 3??  Where did the time go?  But, if you ask her how old she is, she will 99% of the time tell you "8". Eight is her favorite number...trust me she knows that she is 3 but grins and tells you "8" anyway.  She is such a stinker.  We celebrated her birthday a day early on Memorial Day because everyone had to work on her birthday, plus we had 2 other things that evening. So, we headed to Bob Evans for breakfast with our little family and my parents too.

After a yummy breakfast (her favorite part being the very chocolatey milk), we headed home to open presents.  She was very aware of presents this year and couldn't wait to open them. If I remember correctly she was doing a little dance because she was excited about presents.

She definitely is a spoiled little girl!  She got so many great presents.  One of her favorites is below from her aunt, uncle and cousins in PA...a DRUM that came with maracas, a recorder and a tambourine.  This girl is soooo musical like her mama and LOVES this.  We've been tempted to hide it every now and then but she has such fun playing it all!

Look out!  Wild woman on the roads! Well, we only allow her on our huge back patio with her "four-wheeler" but...you better look out...she runs over whatever is in her way!

After presents we were ready for cake and ice cream. Yummo!  She was very ready for her cake and was so incredibly excited to blow out her candle!  Here's the happy crew!

More gifts...soccer ball and notice as she is kicking the ball, she has on high-heel princess shoes from Uncle Andy and Aunt Jul???  She got four pair of them and she LOVES wearing them around and flipping them off for the next pair! She was funny as she was ploaying with her toys. She had them all out and would literally play with each thing like 30 seconds before rotating to the next toy.  Oh my...she was in heaven!

Here is our sweet 3 year old (going on 8, or maybe even 18!)!

Happy 3rd Birthday sweet Kiara!  We love you so much.  The time has gone so fast already and I know it will continue to fly. Don't grow up too fast little bug!
